On first impressions it looked like they could have been a potential winning couple but the Love Island romance between former Miss Newcastle Sophie Gradon and Welsh lad Tom Powell has turned sour after Tom turned on her during Wednesday night’s episode.

Going back to the first episode of the itv2 series, Sophie picked Tom to be her other half and he fell head over heels for the 30 year old digital marketing manager from the get-go, telling her he saw a future for them outside of the Love Island villa.

But then on Tuesday night’s show Sophie dropped a bombshell to fellow Miss Great Britain winner Zara Holland that her last two relationships had both been with women.

Two new arrivals headed into the villa on Wednesday, determined to cause some sparks to fly and new guy Terry Walsh certainly made an impression on Sophie.

“I said coming in this villa I don’t think I’d get the horn, but it’s so hard not to when you’ve got guys like Terry coming in.”

During another visit to the Beach Hut, Sophie added: “I do feel like things have moved a bit too fast with me and Tom. I’m not ready to think that far ahead yet.

"I’m here to see what’s out there, to have a bit of fun and to spread my wings and enjoy it.”

She then told the fitness instructor: “Three days we’ve known each other. You can’t fall for someone that quick. I like you too and I wanna see where this is going. [But…] they’re throwing Terry in here. Like the girl who came in tonight, you can’t tell me she’s not fit as f***.”

A despondent Tom replied: “But I didn’t look twice at her. So you’re not turned on by me, you’re turned on by him?”

And not convinced by her response, the Welsh lad turned on Sophie before later going into the Beach Hut full of regret for what he said.
